‘No one ever knows what is going to happen next.’- Pema Chodron

Since you do not know what is going to happen next,

now is the time to focus on your life,

to focus on what matters to you,

to do the best you can with what you have,

and to be grateful for being here.

Now is the time to stop beating yourself up

and start loving yourself.

Be yourself. Know what you want, and give it your best.

The future will take care of itself.
